I don't believe the standalone bootloader can deal with the NFS server 
being on a different subnet, as is apparently the case with your setup.

In addition, you need to set the 'option root-path ...' in your 
dhcpd.conf to point to the *NFS root* for your mvme board, *not* the 
tftp directory. The standalone bootloader expects to be able to grab 
the kernel from that root directory. (Ignore me if your /tftpboot 
directory really *is* the NFS root ;-).
